School Shootings and The Consequences

On Tuesday , April 20, 1999 The Columbine High School massacre occurred. Two students who go by the names Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold who took part in the massacre , killing 12 students a teacher and wounding 23 others as well right before they both committed suicide. They said this was the fourth deadliest school shooting the United States history , right after the Bath School disaster , the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre and the University of Texas massacre. I believe that massacre's all have something in common , they are all provoked by bullying and high school cliques. Even though movies and video games play a huge role, to me bullying is number one on the list. Bullying in almost all generation take part in something we all wish wouldn't happen. If someone is being teased and criticized by color, race and gender , people are bound to retaliate. Some teenagers today take offense in how other people treat them, and judge them simply by what they wear, where they live and who they are friends with. In all of these massacre's bullying played a huge roll in all of these massacre's. The shootings all resulted in an increased emphasis on school security, and a moral panic aimed on Goth culture, social pariahs , the gun culture, the use of pharmaceutical anti-depressants by depressants and violent video games. I think that if there is a sign of bullying in any school teachers, counselors and principles should take action immediately
